iiexport Command--Copy Application Components to a File

The iiexport command copies one or more application components to a file. A component can be a frame, procedure, record type, global variable, or a global constant. You can copy all the components of a particular type from an application using one of the -all flags: -allframes, -allprocs, -allrecords, -allglobals, -allconstants.

When you copy a frame, iiexport copies the frame definition, including local components and Escape code. However, iiexport does not copy global components or child frames, unless they are explicitly specified. See How Dependencies Are Handled for more information.

This command has the following syntax:

iiexport dbname appname [-intfile=filename] [-listing=filename]
[-user=username] component=name{,name} {component=name{,name}}

component

Is one of the following: -frame, -proc, -record, -global, -constant, -allframes, -allprocs, -allrecords, -allglobals, or -allconstants

name{,name}

Is a comma-separated list with no spaces

dbname

Specifies the database from which the component is being copied

appname

Specifies the application from which the component is being copied

-intfile=filename

Speciries the intermediate file created by iiexport. The filename can be the full pathname of the file. If you specify the -intfile flag, you must indicate a file name. If you do not specify the -intfile flag, iiexport names the intermediate file iiexport.tmp.

-listing=filename

Specifies a file that lists the names of the source files for each frame copied. If you specify the -listing flag, you must indicate a file name. If -listing is not specified, Vision does not create a listing file.

-user=username

Runs the command as the user specified by username.

To use this option, you must be a privileged user.

If you are using Enterprise Access products, refer to your Enterprise Access documentation before using this parameter.
